IMPORTANT: Plans for the weekend and beyond

[Erik Walthinsen <omega@omegacs.net>]

Tonight and parts of tomorrow I hope to complete the construction of my 
latest machine, alpha, and the placement of it and psi such that alpha 
boots diskless for most purposes.  It has a 120MB drive, but as you can 
imagine, it's less than useful for development work.  It'll be used for 
testing and initial installs, before moving a new root to psi's 5GB drive.

alpha will be installed with numerous distributions, starting with RedHat 
4.2, as it is the only one I can sanely install right now.  Debian I'll 
attempt again over the weekend (1.3.1r2) if I have time.  RedHat 5.0 has to 
wait till I can burn a valid CD on Monday.  Later on testing will be done 
for all sorts of things, as I have time.  It may even be available for 
people to work on if no other systems are available, though it's behind a 
33.6K modem currently.  Those of S&M bent might like that. ;-)

The rest of the weekend I will be working on the website, starting with the 
initial completion of sdoc, getting it on our site and in use.  The next 
task will be to gather all the information I can to put together the entire 
site as it stands now.

In the longer term, we're losing Roger (arma) as a sysarch.  He just has 
too much stuff to do for school.  For the mid-term, that means I just have 
to work harder *and* smarter.  This also means that everyone here will have 
some more responsibilities, and most important, *deliverables*.  That means 
that either you or someone you delegate to will be held accountable for a 
given item.  To facilitate that, a TODO list will be built on the website.

The work over this weekend will take several people, mostly gathering 
together everything we have so far as far as documentation, and writing 
some documents.

I need commitments from a few people for the weekend for these things.  
Marty is an obvious candidate, if he is available.  Any others with time 
to mark up documents would be welcome.  If you know HTML, you can help.

I'm hoping to kickstart this project this weekend.  Let's make it happen!

TIA,
   Omega
